How to implement the changes for Bluzone Lambda functions
Step01: Create env var for the runtime config
scripts/global-vars.sh
export RUNTIME="provided.al2"Step02: Use the runtime config on the create lambda function command
scripts/lambda-create.sh`
echo "RUNTIME:" $RUNTIME
echo "--- creating function [$BITBUCKET_BRANCH-$FN_NAME]"
aws lambda create-function \
--function-name $BITBUCKET_BRANCH-$FN_NAME \
--runtime "$RUNTIME"Step03: Rename the binary
Makefile
BIN_PATH=bootstrap
build-lambda:
git config --global url."git@bitbucket.org:bluvision-cloud".insteadOf "https://bitbucket.org/bluvision-cloud"
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build $(LD_FLAGS) -o $(BIN_PATH) $(CMD_PATH).go
package-lambda: build-lambda
@echo "--- zipping lambda function"
zip lambda.zip main
zip lambda.zip $(BIN_PATH)Step04: Ignore the binary from version controlling
.gitignore
Step05: Update the aws-lambda-go library
go.mod
